Fourteen
I picked YaYa up at 6:00 a.m. and we headed to the grocery store to purchase the birthday breakfast donuts. Just after 7:00 a.m. we rounded up everyone for breakfast in the bathtub. They decided to stand, and it was really hard to get a picture. There may have been…

A bunch of us loaded up the van. We dropped Mr. TOF off at baseball practice and zoomed down to the secret beach until we needed to be back to pick him up. The Devious Snail and Company brought books to read. Peanut Maximus was busy throwing sticks and rocks…

MidSummer Delights
It is the middle of summer! The weather has been great (except for a minor heat wave that we survived last weekend) and there have been so many things to savor with a more relaxed, but still hopping household schedule. Here are some of my recent summer delights:

2024 Sunday Night at the Beach: Edition 7

Found: Mom’s Reading Glasses
He found my reading glasses while I was practicing the piano, and of course he needed to try them on!

Kid Was Here
Peanut Maximus is really into pretend food right now, and when I walked into the foyer, I found three hand drums set as tables and abandoned.

Visiting YaYa
We needed to drop of some lifejackets at Wilderness Experience where YaYa is doing her summer internship again this year, and since it was after the busy hours, we had to stop and visit the sheep and chickens, of course! Peanut Maximus loves the sheep and chickens so much he…
